These are the latest addition to the

common platform concept of 1100

Series diesel engines. Assembled
on a new high technology production
line, these ultra clean engines will
provide a superior replacement for all
marine six cylinder models. Frequent
computerised checks during the
production process ensure high build
quality excellence is maintained.
The new engines boast considerable
increases to delivered power, torque
and noise reduction. These have
been achieved through changes
to combustion areas, turbocharger
geometry, increased cylinder
displacement and signifcantly, the
inclusion of a high pressure, common
rail fuel system. These new engines
incorporate components of Caterpillar
ACERT technology.
A complete fuel system, air cleaner
and heat exchanger is supplied
as standard. Choice is provided to
customers through the availability
of a large variety of standard
specifcations incorporating a choice
of alternator and front PTO.
1100 Series
Marine Propulsion Engine M250C and M300C
Powered by Your Needs
These engines offer a choice of standard build confgurations to match the needs of
customers for a diverse range of applications.
State of the Art Design
These engines utilise components of Caterpillar ACERT technology. This provides
excellent fuel economy and low heat rejection.
Worldwide Power Solution
They have been designed to be worldwide fuel tolerant, including kerosene, jet aviation
fuel and B20 biofuel (RME). Options are available to meet local market needs.

Rating Defnitions
Pleasure Duty
For vessels operating up to 30% load factor. This rating is intended for pleasure/non-revenue
generating applications that operate less than 500 hours a year. Typical applications could
include but are not limited to: High speed planning craft.
Light Duty
For vessels operating up to 50% load factor. This rating is intended for applications that
operate less than 1500 hours a year in variable load applications where full power is limited
to 2 hours out of every 12 hours of operation and reduced power must be at or below 200
rpm of the maximum rated rpm. Typical applications could include but are not limited to:
planing / semi displacement craft such as customs and police launches, sport fsh charter
vessels, passenger carriers, survey craft and long distance cruisers etc.
Medium Duty
For vessels operating up to 60% load factor. This rating is intended for applications that
operate less than 4000 hours a year. Typical applications could include but are not limited to:
Semi-displacement / displacement craft such as customs and police launches, high speed
commercial fshing, passenger carriers, survey craft, ferries and long distance cruisers etc.
Heavy Duty
For vessels operating up to 80% load factor. This rating is intended for applications that
operate less than 4000 hours a year. Typical applications could include but are not limited to:
semi-displacement / displacement craft such as customs and police launches, high speed
commercial fshing, passenger carriers, survey craft and ferries etc.
